Pros

Great pay and benefits. Good opportunity to move around in the company. Challenging projects. Experience varies a lot depending on your team and managers.

Not the greatest culture if you are looking for a company that supports volunteerism, family friendliness, work balance flexibility, and remote work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is genuinely competitive, and total compensation has been strong overall. Stock appreciation has been a major upside, especially for longer-tenured employees, and can meaningfully boost TC over time. The people you work with day to day are another highlight. Many teammates are smart, collaborative, and supportive, which makes the work itself more enjoyable and helps offset some organizational challenges.

Cons

Internal politics can be heavy, and decision-making is often centralized at higher levels. Direction can shift based on leadership priorities rather than on-the-ground realities, making it difficult for teams to influence outcomes or advocate for better processes.
